Building a printed circuit board (PCB) requires numerous steps, man-hours, and resources. These small green boards with copper maze-like patterns must be manufactured carefully, down to the tiniest detail. One missed step could result in the PCB faulting and not functioning as intended – running an electronic device. As you plan and submit your design to your PCB manufacturer, keep in...
